Saw this over on bimmerpost and immediately thought of you.

Amazing how he could take that strong of an impact and actually land on his feet. Ridiculous how stupid some drivers can be. NA really needs to consider making driver licensing much more difficult.

That guy is a champ! I think if that happened to me, my first words would have been "Get the f*** away from me". Then I would have needed to sit down for a minute.

Gee...

Lucky guy. This is why I would never get on a bike. Unfortunately accidents do happen, and its better to be surrounded by some steel when they occur.

Incredible that the guy landed on his feet and was ok, but I have to wonder why he was riding around with a video recorder on?

Seems to be more and more common to have a helmet cam; not sure of his reason, but some people like to record rides. I saw a bicyclist the other day with one.

Lucky, at least this time. Too often crashes like this end tragically.

Dang thats insane! Glad he seemed alright. I find a GoPro is quite useful nowadays for documenting rides
